Seychelles can be visited at any time. May to September is a lovely part of the year as it is the driest and coolest time to visit. Hikers will particularly enjoy this time. This is however when the southeast trade winds blow and the sea might be a bit choppy. The best sea conditions for diving and snorkeling are from March to May and from September to November.
